Erik ten Hag believes he has kept his job as Man United manager and prepares for Brentford clash amid wall of silence after INEOS chiefs’ six-hour meeting

Erik ten Hag plans to take charge of Manchester United’s next match after the international break, despite a wall of silence over his future at the club.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe dodged a question about Ten Hag’s position last week, and United has made no comment since the minority owner held a six-hour meeting with senior executives at his Ineos headquarters in London on Tuesday.

Ten Hag has won just two of his eight games since CEO Omar Berrada and sporting director Dan Ashworth publicly backed him last month, while emphasizing that they joined United in July after the decision was made to keep the Dutchman and his to extend the contract.

The club do not want to be pressured into placing renewed faith in the 54-year-old with his future remaining uncertain, even though this has fueled speculation that they could turn to Thomas Tuchel or Ten Hag’s assistant Ruud van Nistelrooy install as interim boss.

Ten Hag, who has gone on holiday during the international break, believes he will be in charge of the match against Brentford at Old Trafford in ten days and plans to be back on the training pitch early next week.
